Default NASA proposes artificial magnetic field to make Mars a secondhome

Presumably, they can angle the magnetic field far

right as Mars is passing through it.

Only with "new physics". Either they make a symmetric field 20 times the diameter of what is required (because we only know how to make symmetric fields), or they add a small amount of energy to keep the source that far ahead of Mars.


You can do it with multiple satellites each orbiting around the L1
point, they can all be adjusted individually and oriented individually.
